11 cats and kittens have left the Bonner Springs Animal Control Facility for the Humane Society of Greater Kansas City this week, where they’ll have the opportunity to find their forever homes. The remaining kittens are scheduled to follow soon. 🥳

For a brief, beautiful moment, the Animal Control Unit thought they had it all: Empty cages. Breathing room. A break. 🥹….They were cute for thinking that. 😑🤣

The Cat Distribution System has simply switched demographics.

The kittens are moving out. The injured senior citizens are moving in. Two, in less than 24 hours 🙀🙀

👵🏽Senior #1: Extreme Makeover — Animal Control Edition

This senior lady was found in a neighborhood, looking like she’d had a very rough year.

She was severely matted and was suffering from several festering puncture wounds that were covered by matted hair. We’ll spare you the full details, but you can do the math 🫣….. 🌞+🪰+🐈+🩸=🪱

She received a full veterinary exam, medication, wound care, and a brand new haircut to finally relieve her of years worth of painful matting.

👴🏼 Senior #2: Sir, Why Are You Lying in the Road?

While the ACO was already en route to the vet with Senior #1, Officer Tapia responded to a report of a cat lying motionless in/near the roadway. (THANK YOU to the 14 year old Good Samaritan who urged their parent to call for help!)

Officer got him safe and comfortable at the shelter, ACO made a quick detour to intercept their newest passenger and he earned himself a same day veterinary appointment.

Physically he appears to be okay, but he has clearly suffered some type of head injury. He received medication, a desperately needed flea treatment.

Both seniors spent the week at the Bonner Springs Animal Control Facility under observation where they received a quiet, comfortable space to heal and recover.

The best news of the week: Senior #1 “Tiger Lilly” was reunited with her family today after going missing 1 1/2 years ago. 🙀 She is 19 years old. 🥹

Friends of Bonner Springs Animal Control helps bridge the gap between city funding and the veterinary care and supplies needed for animals like these two. If you’d like to help us continue providing care to whichever medical disaster wanders through the door next, donations are always greatly appreciated. ❤️🐾

Bonner Springs Animal Control is working on a large scale feral cat colony on the outskirts of Bonner Springs. There are an estimated 12–15 adult cats and more than 20 kittens that will need to be humanely trapped, vaccinated, treated for fleas, and spayed or neutered. The feral adult cats will be returned to their territory with a clipped ear for identification, but our hope is that these young kittens are caught early enough to be socialized and will eventually find loving forever homes.

In just over 24 hours, five adult cats and four young kittens are already safe at the Bonner Springs Animal Control Facility.

We’re incredibly grateful to Naws - Northland Animal Welfare Society and Humane Society of Greater Kansas City for partnering with us in the coming days/weeks to get the feral adults spayed and neutered as quickly as possible. Their support is critical in helping stop the cycle of overpopulation.

💙 How you can help:
We’re in need of:
🐾 Canned cat & kitten food
🐾 Dry cat & kitten food
🐾 Potty pads
🐾 Flea & Tick Prevention
🐾 Feliway diffusers
🐾 Monetary donations to help cover veterinary care and supplies

Every tax deductible donation goes towards the comfort and care these cats need and prevents countless future litters from being born to an unkind life outdoors.

If you’d like to support this effort, donations can be dropped off at the Bonner Springs Animal Control Facility, 11600 Kaw Drive, or made through Friends of Bonner Springs Animal Control. (Links in comments)

Thank you for helping us make a difference for both the animals and the community. 😻

Thank you to all who donated!

Update on the injured Edwardsville Community Cat:

She was spayed, vaccinated, ear tipped and had her tail amputated today at NAWS - Northland Animal Welfare Society. Huge thank you to Dr. Minter for performing her surgery, to the community members who helped get her trapped, and of course everyone who donated to make this possible. She will remain in our care until she is completely healed and then will be returned to her territory where she will never have to worry about another litter of kittens.

Right now, Bonner Springs Animal Control is caring for 11 kittens who all came to the shelter under heartbreaking circumstances.

💔 Eight 4 week old kittens lost their mother.

🩼 One kitten was found on I-70 with a broken femur and is facing a long road to recovery.

🚗 Another kitten suffered severe injuries after being struck by a vehicle.

🚙 One lucky kitten was unscathed after hitching a ride to the aquatic park from a neighboring city.

These tiny lives are counting on us, but they are also going through supplies faster than we can replace them. We urgently need:

🐱 Canned kitten food
🐱 Dry kitten food
🍼 Kitten formula (Breeders Choice or KMR)
🧻 Potty pads
💵 Monetary donations to help cover veterinary care, medications, and ongoing expenses.

Every can of food, every bag of kibble, and every dollar donated goes directly toward giving these kittens the chance they deserve.

If you’d like to help, donations can be dropped off or mailed to:
Bonner Springs Police Department
215 Cedar Street
Bonner Springs, KS 66012

Monetary donations can be made through Venmo () or PayPal (link in the comments).

From the bottom of our hearts, and from eleven very hungry, very grateful little kittens, thank you for helping us turn heartbreaking beginnings into positive outcomes. ❤️🐾

🚨 EMERGENCY MEDICAL FUNDRAISER – EDWARDSVILLE COMMUNITY CAT IN NEED 🚨

Warning: The photos in the comments show a serious injury.

This cat was found in Edwardsville suffering from devastating injuries. The good news? The veterinarians at the Humane Society of Greater Kansas City have agreed to help. The bad news is that he urgently needs medical treatment, including a tail amputation and antibiotics, with an estimated cost of $300.

No animal should have to endure this level of pain and suffering. Friends of Bonner Springs Animal Control is stepping up to help cover his medical expenses, but we need your support.

💙 Our goal: $300
🐾 Tail amputation surgery
🐾 Pain relief and antibiotics
🐾 A chance at a comfortable, healthy future

Every donation, no matter the amount, brings us closer to getting this cat the care he desperately needs.

If you’d like to contribute, please donate through Friends of Bonner Springs Animal Control and note “Edwardsville Cat” in your donation.

A huge THANK YOU to everyone who joined us for Ladies Night at Holy-Field Winery and helped support Friends of Bonner Springs Animal Control! ❤️🐾

Because of your support, generosity, and willingness to spend an evening having fun for a great cause, we can continue helping the animals in our community and providing resources that make a real difference.

Events like this are about more than w**e and a night out (although those are pretty great too 🍷). They’re about communities coming together to support animals in need and helping us continue our mission.

Thank you to Holy-Field Vineyard & Winery for hosting, and thank you to everyone who came out, donated, shopped, visited, and showed support. We truly could not do this without you.

Together, you’re helping us make Bonner Springs a better place for animals and their people. 🐕🐈🐈‍⬛🦮🐩🐕‍🦺
